Chapter 98 Yu Jing's Thoughts

The sudden southward movement of the Turkic people cast a shadow over the spring of Tianyou's three years. Although the soldiers of the Xie Dynasty resisted desperately, the Turkic people were even more vicious.In the first few confrontations, Xie Dynasty was defeated, losing several cities in a row.Fortunately, today's strategy was planned, emergency aid was dispatched from all over the country, and after several deadly battles, the Turks were finally driven to the Great Wall, and the war has since entered a stalemate.

In order to express our determination to share weal and woe with the frontier, we issued an order today that banquets and party tours are prohibited in the capital, and set an example. Even the annual Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival has been reduced in scale, which is far less prosperous than in previous years.

But the war is too far away from the capital. The men in the court will always pay attention to the battle situation for their own interests, but the women in the backyard, after the initial enthusiasm, gradually realize that this spring, which cannot be dressed up without a banquet, is extremely withered. .

……

……

After getting up early in the morning, after washing up, Li Ci took a group of maids and women to Fuchun Residence to pay their respects.

After entering the yard, a strong sandalwood scent came in. Li Ci took a deep breath, took out the Buddha bone bracelet, counted the beads, and asked the mother-in-law to open the curtain.

Sure enough, Fuchun lived inside, and the eldest wife was reciting Buddhist scriptures cross-legged in front of the incense burner.

She is praying for the two gentlemen of the Liu family.

Half a month ago, the troops belonging to the two gentlemen of the Liu family were dispatched to go to Yanmen area.There was the main battlefield between the Turks and Daxie. When it was the most intense, an unnamed mound might change its owner several times a day. It was really bloody and floating, with corpses strewn all over the field.

However, the news in this era is extremely ill-informed, and the battle situation is changing rapidly. Often, soldiers have become nameless bones and are buried in yellow sand, while relatives in their hometown are still dreaming of his dream of returning home.

Therefore, after the eldest wife learned that her natal nephew had gone to this dangerous place, she was restless all day long, praying day and night, wishing the Buddha to bless her, not seeking meritorious deeds, but only peace and safety.

Seeing Li Ci enter, the eldest lady paused the chanting, raised her head and said softly: "Si Niangzi came to pay her respects so early?"

"It's a gift for the Son of Man to wake up in the morning. Li Ci dare not be negligent."

Speaking modestly, a servant girl brought a brocade mat and hidden pouch, and Lici accepted it, sitting upright, looking at the wisps of white flowers on the temples of the eldest wife, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

As the mistress of the Fu family, although she is usually shrewd and mean, compared with other wives of the Hou Fu, she is already kind.What's more, I was taught by Aunt Shen and looked after by the eldest princess since I was a child, and I have the status of a concubine, but I haven't suffered any grievances.One should spend on food and clothing, which is no worse than that of a concubine's daughter.

So when Fu Zhu asked her to take care of the Fu family on the eve of his death, she did not refuse.

Although the Fu family has no blood relationship with her, Fu Zhu and Shen Liji have their own calculations in their treatment of her, but they have never treated her badly, and no one in the Fu family really owes her.

It was the old lady who always looked down on her, but in the final analysis, it was only the opinion of the concubines and worried that Aunt Shen would be unfavorable to the Fu family.

During the half a year of staying in the Princess's mansion temporarily, she saw the ugliest and dirtiest side of human nature, and her true despair came to an end.After going through life and death several times, Li Ci's mentality and vision have long been different from the past. Looking back at the calculations in the backyard of the Fu family, he even feels a little more amiable.

They made calculations over and over again, and what they were looking for was just a small profit in the backyard. If they gave more money and got more rewards, they would be satisfied.Occasionally, there are big-minded people, and they just want a good husband, so that they can have food and clothing, and their husbands and wives will be prosperous.

And the enemies that Li Ci will encounter and have already confronted are all hungry wolves who eat people without spitting out their bones.As long as she reveals a flaw, they will rush forward, carve up and tear apart.

Compared with them, the most nasty calculations in the backyard are also cute.

After reading the Buddha's gatha with the eldest wife for a while, the mother-in-law came to report that the two ladies, Yujing and Yuxin, had arrived.

As soon as the words fell, Yuxin had already entered the hall, and rushed into her mother's arms, crying: "Mother, I had a nightmare last night! Dreaming... dreaming..."

Li Ci saw that her bun was loose, her broken hair was stuck to her forehead with beads of sweat, and her small mouth sobbed for a long time, but she didn't finish her sentence. She knew that she was really having a big nightmare, and wanted to go forward to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady was upset when she saw Yuxin coming in early in the morning and said such frustrating words, she was upset and scolded: "What nonsense!"

Yu Jing also chimed in: "Fifth lady, most dreams are upside down, you had a nightmare, that's a good thing—"

"I... I am... I really had a terrible dream. I dreamed... I dreamed that the fourth lady went far away and never came back... I chased desperately, but I couldn't catch her. I was in a hurry when I saw Er Niangzi passing by me in a chariot, and a man whose face could not be seen was sitting beside me... I asked Er Niangzi to stop downloading me, but Er Niangzi...but...also walked away Already!"

She sobbed and told the contents of the nightmare, Yu Jing and Li Ci heard it, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

She thought Yuxin's nightmares were mostly ghosts and ghosts, but she wanted to laugh it off, but when she really understood the dream's content, she was shocked and speechless.

Especially Li Ci looked at Yu Jing with a slightly unnatural expression.

The eldest wife's face was even paler, and her fingers were trembling.

She already vaguely knew the relationship between Li Ci and the eldest princess, so when she heard Yuxin say that Li Ci was traveling far away, she didn't care. .

Thanks to her quickness, she caught a glimpse of Lici's complexion, so she quickly took out a silk handkerchief, wiped Yuxin's tears, and said, "Fifth lady is a child's mind, how can a daughter's family stay in her mother's house all her life and never get married! Second lady Both Mrs. Si and Si Niangzi have reached the age to discuss marriage, so it will be a matter of time before they leave their natal family."

Chen's mother also echoed: "Congratulations to Miss Wu, this is really a good dream, a good dream with a happy event coming soon!"

Li Ci knew that they were all good people, even if there was a grievance in their hearts, they would not say unwelcome words on their faces, so he quickly pulled Yu Jing up, blushing, and said, "Mother is making fun of us again."

The eldest wife took advantage of the situation and teased: "Could it be that the fourth lady has a crush on someone's son, and she becomes shy when she hears about the marriage!"

After all, Yuxin was still young, and when she heard their nonsense, she suddenly felt reasonable, and smiled through her tears: "So that's the case! But I don't know which family my two brother-in-laws belong to?"

Li Ci naturally lowered her head pretending to be shy, and Yu Jing said coldly: "Why is Wu Niangzi so poor, born by my aunt, how can I have a chance to marry into the palace of the Hou family. How can there be a decent man from an ordinary family?" Sir, I am satisfied."

Hearing this, the eldest wife's originally peaceful expression became unhappy again, and was about to explode, Li Ci smoothed things over and said: "I went to Yan Wang's mansion yesterday, and Princess Yan rewarded me with a screen with white lions and peonies, which is suitable for Er Niangzi. I was thinking of sending it to Er Niangzi, but I never thought that I came back late yesterday and Er Niangzi had already gone to bed."

No matter how slow Yu Jing was, she knew that Li Ci was giving her a step, so she hurriedly said, "Si Niangzi has a heart."

Immediately, she knelt down to the eldest wife, who was always out of sight and out of mind towards Yu Jing, so she casually said a few family precepts, and then waved them all down.

……

……

After leaving the Fuchun residence, the cold wind full of spring was blowing towards her face, Yu Jing paused her steps, and said gratefully to Li Ci: "I made a mistake in my words just now, thank you Si Niangzi for helping me out."

Li Ci laughed and said, "A family of sisters, why bother to talk so eloquently. The screen with the white lion rolling the peony was originally intended to be sent to the second lady, but I saw that the atmosphere was not right, so I brought this up earlier."

Yu Jing said: "So I was reckless. It's just... Yuxin's words are really... shabby. Most of the capital knows that I was approved by the living gods of Yuelu Mountain, and I can only marry Tianhuang nobles. If I marry Entering an ordinary family is Kefu's fate. This statement is somewhat credible, no one knows, but there are all parents who love their children, so naturally they would rather believe it than believe it."

After a pause, he said: "Who would like to find a wife of Kefu for my husband?"

Li Ci nodded and said, "The real person's criticism really delayed you."

But Yu Jing said: "Si Niangzi misunderstood. Although I have a heart to hate marriage, I know that everything in this world has its own laws. That day, a real person rode a crane to solve the problem, and we saw it with our own eyes. Yan firmly believes in it. Now that the two-year period has expired, I have indeed seen traces of Luanfeng's fate."

"Oh?"

Li Ci was taken aback.

Yu Jing took her hand and said earnestly: "Si Niangzi, don't laugh at me, I...for the past two years, I have been treating Liang Wangye...although he is a bit older, but his talent, appearance and character are all... It's a pity that he and the concubine Luanfeng were in harmony at that time, and I knew that my father would definitely not want me to shamelessly beg to come to the door as a concubine. So I gave up on it. I never thought... The concubine's fate is bad... I calculated it carefully, and the prince will be in March You can be filial piety, and the two-year period that the real person said has just arrived... This may be the destiny."

Li Ci couldn't help but gasp.

She always thought that Yujing's life as a phoenix should be on one of the former emperor's princes. After all, when the real person gave the order, of the six princes under the former emperor's knees, three of them had not officially married the princess.Who would have thought that Yu Jing would be right...

Inevitably, he said in embarrassment: "Second lady... this matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. King Liang..."

Yu Jing sighed faintly, and said: "I... I know that I was born by my aunt, and I can't compare with the nobleness of a descendant, and I can't be compared with the golden branches and jade leaves of the fourth lady... With the status of His Royal Highness King Liang, even if I am a widower Married, I don’t know how many high-ranking daughters-in-law are going to fight for their heads. The fourth lady thinks that I am not worthy of the prince’s respect, and bluntly speaking, I... I am used to it..."

As we spoke, tears fell.

Li Ci hastily took out a silk handkerchief to wipe it for her, while quickly calculating the pros and cons in her heart.

She knew that with King Liang's hypocrisy, after becoming a filial piety, she might pretend to be reluctant to find a woman who would be of great benefit to her as a sequel.

The combination of an over-competent woman and an ambitious man cannot be underestimated.

Although Yujing said that she was inferior and self-respecting, she was an authentic Fu family. Even if she married Queen Liang and her husband and wife, they were in cahoots and collusion, but it was impossible not to protect the interests of her mother's family at all.

After all, her natal family is the most important backer for a woman. Yu Jing is not a stupid person, so she naturally understands this truth.

Right now, there is no one in the Fu family court, and I am in a difficult situation, walking on thin ice. If I want to protect the century-old glory of the Fu family in the north, I must place my own people beside King Liang!

After such calculations, Li Ci suddenly felt that if he could successfully match Yu Jing and Liang Wang, it would be beneficial to the Fu family and not harmful at all.

What is especially rare is that Yu Jing herself has a strong desire to marry into the palace.

Men chasing women, interlayer mountains, women chasing men, interlayer gauze.Yujing's appearance and character are all excellent, except for her status as a concubine, there is nothing she can't show.And although King Liang is a noble man, he is a widower remarrying. It is expected that as long as Yujing takes the initiative, with his wily and calculating temperament, he will probably push it halfway.

After all, Li Cixiao used Yujing to seek the King of Liang, and the King of Liang would also use Yujing to seek the Fu family.

Immediately he said impassionedly: "Lici still remembers the heroic words of the second lady who asked Mrs. Wei Guogong to kneel down and salute. Today, the lady admits that she has the ambition to marry the king of Liang. How can she not support it. I can't wait to see the king of Liang come to the door tomorrow. Propose marriage!"

"Really? Fourth Lady really thinks so?"

"It's absolutely true, but King Liang is an elder after all... this... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Hearing this, Yu Jing lowered her head and sobbed, "I also know that this matter is extremely difficult, but... I... have been... since two years ago... I was full of him, I thought I would forget it after a long time... who knows The last time I was in the hunting ground, I saw him look exactly like I remembered, my heart... and..."

Li Ci said: "Second lady, don't be depressed. Since the destiny is fixed, the lady should obey the destiny and fight for a while!"

Yu Jing burst into tears immediately and laughed: "I also ask Si Niangzi to give me a helping hand!"

"They are all sisters. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"
